Makerbot creator Bre Pettis and his musician friends from Scary Car (http://www.bryanscary.com/) made this cute little video featuring 3D printed action figures being created in (near) real-time and then discovering love.
The video is celebration of Makerbot's big debut (http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2012/01/16/the-replicator-stop-motion-music-video/) at CES last year and the launch of the Replicator (http://techcrunch.com/search/Replicator), the company's new complete 3D printer that we featured on our CES stage (http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/12/bre-pettis-of-makerbot-the-future-is-already-here/).
A lot of folks would equate a 3D printer with frippery but it's clear that these things are plain fun and, more important, they work.
